Daily horoscopes for 24th December, 2008

[AstrologyBot]

Aries:

Sacrificing some of your privacy will be a joy today, because the alternative will be so exciting! You might be slow to come to this conclusion, but as the day progresses you will soon see how much more you have to gain by joining in on the game rather than watching from the sidelines. Your presence will be in high demand, so supply it as often as you can. Even if you are feeling more introverted than usual, this exciting social scene will be worth making the effort it takes to get social.

Taurus:

You might have to put one of your relationships on the back burner for now so that you can focus on you work, but don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings. The people who care about you really do care about you -- and by now, they understand that sometimes you've got to deal with other things in your life. They are very sensitive people, but not so sensitive that they will take it personally if you have to cancel a dinner or say no to a party invitation.

Gemini:

Someone who's being very nice to you right now might have a hidden agenda -- so hold off on placing a significant amount of trust in them. Through continued observation today, you will come to the conclusion that they aren't quite the person you thought they were. First of all, they are nowhere near as smart as you thought -- it's pretty dumb to try to put something over on you! You're acting more cautiously than you usually do, but this is a healthy trend.

Cancer:

You are savvy enough to be as careful as you need to be in business deals, but that doesn't mean you can never go for broke. Dive headfirst into a new opportunity today. You do not have to research every little detail to death. If people you know and trust are enthusiastic about a new enterprise, and if you feel deep in your gut that it is something you want to get involved with, then go for it! It's probably going to be a very interesting experience.

Leo:

Someone who recently had a huge success is getting a bit too big for their britches. Initially, you were happy for their success, but lately it has felt like they are always boasting or being generally insensitive about your situation. It is best for you to get your distance from them today. If you don't get some space from them, any joy you felt for them will start to dissolve into resentment. This person needs to feed their ego, but you don't have to stand around and help them do it.

Virgo:

Some of your plans might have to be postponed or canceled outright today -- someone with more power is on the scene. And whether you like it or not, they are going to be calling the shots. This lack of control on your part could make you feel restless, but before you go on strike or strike out and give them a piece of your mind, listen to the cooler heads. Let them talk you out of your anger and into a clearer frame of mind. Sometimes you have to sit in the back seat and enjoy the ride.

Libra:

If you feel like you're been sacrificing too much in your life, then stop doing it. You may be selfish every now and then -- in fact, it's healthy! So let the pendulum swing back to 'selfish,' where your happiness is the highest priority. Reclaim some of your free time. Use it however you see fit -- take a nap, read a book, go for a walk, or even just watch TV. All that matters is that you are doing what you want to do, when you want to do it!

Scorpio:

The wonderful thing about having confidence is that it can be your secret weapon for getting through tough challenges. But right now you need to keep that confidence in check. Make sure it doesn't veer over into cockiness. Be honest with yourself and admit when you can't do something. You do have limitations, as shocking as that might be! It's much better to acknowledge them to others than to have others point them out to you. Be self-aware and you'll be more attractive to others.

Sagittarius:

Your creativity has been on quite a roll lately, but are you giving your imagination enough breathing room? Let things in your life be messy for a while, instead of sticking to a certain schedule or plan. Doing so will encourage improvisation and keep you on your toes! Being confused wouldn't even be a bad thing today, because in the process of trying to make sense of things you will discover a whole new way of putting them all back together again!

Capricorn:

Your prestige is growing right now, and a powerful person is suddenly seeing you in a brand new light. Try not to let this new level of attention make you feel uncomfortable, though. Now is the time to step boldly into the spotlight and make the most of this time in your life. And if you have to fake the confidence for a while, so what? Show people that you are worthy of the trust and respect they are giving you, and they will give you more of it.

Aquarius:

If you have deep feelings for someone who has wronged you, making a fresh start can be challenging. Moving completely past grudges and anger is often impossible to do. So if you are feeling like you want to stop trying to put the past behind you, then take a break from being the bigger person. Get your distance from the people who don't make you feel good about yourself. Let time show you whether you should keep someone in your life, or let them know that it is time to move on.

Pisces:

There is going to be a lot of erratic energy buzzing around the lives of people you love today, but you can't let it get in the way of your plans! Friends and family members know that you care about them, but they also know that you have a life -- so if you change your plans just to come to their aid, you're only going to make them feel guilty. Just because they are going through some emotional upheaval right now doesn't mean that they expect you to drop everything and come running.
